Sir , the government needs to take away your freedom and lock you up in a school to become a teacher. Your abilities are high class. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Best auto DIY videos on youtube, very thorough, and thats for any make/model. really enjoy watching this you do a great job, looking forward to more, thanks for making them!
Thank you!!! I get my hat off for you Sir. You must be a certified professional mechanic for sure. The level of detail on your explanations and organization is exquisite. I just would have liked to see a bit more on the way you worked around those bolts hidden under the frame which I think is the trickiest part of the whole procedure. Aside from that I am 100% in loved with the video. I am preparing myself to do it on my 2005 Camry and your video will surely play a leading role in its success.
Thanks for the comments. The hidden bolts were difficult to remove. It involved a handful of random shapes/sizes of tools and extensions and a bit of time.
This is an excellent video, and I'll refer back to it when it's time to change my fluid and filter. I'm curious, did you notice any improvement in gas mileage after the change?
I had actually just acquired this vehicle and did the tranny fluid change within the first month of ownership. The car was actually free because there were so many problems with it. As of today (over a year later), it runs like a champ.
I am too lazy to take a pan out. I just repeat your first step 3-4 times over a course of 2 years, basically swapping 3.5 qt of transmission fluid each time I do engine oil change.
Hoping this trasmission woth 200K doesn't start bumping while shifting gears as the old dirty dark fluid could tell how bad or damaged the internal components are. Flushing after so many miles are not recommended, but drain amd fill 30k. Good luck!
Thanks for the comment. No issues with the transmission. The products and procedures in this video have been tested and retested. I'll run transmission oil analytics in a year or so to determine the health of the tranny.
Good luck! Drain and fill would be sufficient to me and the Toyota delaer procedures. Plus using Amsoil like advertasing instead of the manufacturer fluid.
@@hansenriquerach-mendoza3515 Thanks for the follow up comment. I am not an advocate for the drain and fill method as the filter does not get replaced and the pan and magnets do not get cleaned. Amsoil tranny fluid was used as it outperforms the OEM recommendation.
Is there a gasket/crush washer under the pan drain bolt? Good catch on the lost o-ring. Many engines have been destroyed when one forgets to check to see if the gasket isn't stuck to the block. My brother had a fresh rebuild when he changed the oil for the first time. The gasket stuck to the block because of the engine's fresh paint job. The doubled up gasket shifted under pressure and made a mess under the hood in addition to the sudden loss of oil pressure at highway RPM.
how do you end up cleaning the parts so well ??! My 04 camry has 175k on it , im pretty sure it has black transmission fluid as well. Many people say when they do a flush it slips because the gears have new fluid which is slippery. i might just stick to the drain and fill until the oil starts looking cleaner haha
I’ve got a 2nd user 2005 Camry. I’m experiencing hear slipping issues from 1-2 and when engine gets hot it drags alot before changing gear. sometimes I rev to 3000rpm. I discovered there’s a leakage beneath, I changed the filter sill experiencing leakages. So I bought 4qrts of transmission oil to keep topping up. But I still experience gear slipping when hot. What’s your advice?

hello i am curious About the process of a 6 cylinder. i have a V6 Toyota camry 2003 So is the process of a 4 cylinder same as 6 cylinder or no? Thanks in advance
I was glad to change the fluid out, especially after seeing how dark it was when I first started flushing it… It’s been about six months and still running great.
The P0768 code is caused by defective shift solenoids, wiring issues, low transmission fluid levels, a clogged transmission filter, a bad transmission control module, valve body issues, or internal transmission failure. www.carparts.com/blog/p0768-code-shift-solenoid-d-electrical/#:~:text=The%20P0768%20code%20is%20caused,issues%2C%20or%20internal%20transmission%20failure.
How is the transmission working on Amsoil? I'm thinking about trying it I found a 2004 camry with 107.000 miles I might be buying. Thanks for any info.
@@aaronyork6173 Yes, I use Amsoil engine oil in this vehicle. I have only had this vehicle for about 6 months and I am currently tracking oil consumption. At this point, it is looking like this vehicle uses .04 oz per mile. That equates to about 1 quart per month if I drive for 1 hr each day. If this level of oil consumption continues, I am thinking it might be a good candidate for Amsoil OE www.amsoil.com/p/oe-5w-30-synthetic-motor-oil-oef/?code=OEFQT-EA?zo=10458
It was shown that this video was posted about 11 months ago I’d be curious to see if that transmission didn’t take a dump shortly after. It is also not recommended to flush your transmission. Neither is it necessary. Judging from the look of that fluid, it probably had 241,000 miles on it. So, even more not recommended to entirely flush it. It’s just not necessary and a waste of money. All of what this man said is not incorrect, but there are a few things that he missed obviously.
This vehicle is a daily driver. No transmission issues so far after 11 months. When you refer to "flush your transmission" , are you referring to using a "flush-machine", "flush product" or "Back-Flushing"? I don't recommend a flush machine or back flushing but I routinely use a flush product. The procedures demonstrated in this video are the standard procedures I work through when I do this service on vehicles.
Per Amsoil it takes SS Multi-Vehicle Auto Tranny Fluid www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2003/toyota/camry/2-4l-4-cyl-engine-code-2az-fe-4/?zo=10458 . Per the owners manual: Toyota Genuine ATF Type T−IV
I spent about $250 in transmission fluid...However, I put in a much higher quality product than they sell in the stores. www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-signature-series-multi-vehicle-100-synthetic-automatic-transmission-fluid-atf/?zo=10458
I hope that at 241,000 miles this is not the first transmission fluid and filter change. By the way, you keep referring to it as the engine it’s not the engine it’s the transmission. Also transmission fluid and filter changes is every 60,000 miles recommended by Toyota. if you do not know when your transmission fluid was changed last, then it’s better to not change it at all as shortly after your transmission will take a dump. This is recommended by“the car nut TH-cam channel“ He is a master certified Toyota technician so, I would listen to them. also use FP pro gasket adhesive medium to heavy tack brush it onto your pan and then stick the gasket to it. It will hold it in place and make it much easier to reinstall.
It is very possible this was the first tranny fluid/filter change. The documents I received from the previous owner (who had the car for 19 years) did not indicate tranny service. I apologize for not using the word transmission throughout the video, I narrate as I film to reduce the editing time. I have watched "The Car Care Nut's" videos and he is a great source of information. However, although a great source...he is only one source of information. Dealership mechanics have a specific type and style of training that is different from other types of educational institutions and organizations. As far as the FP Pro Gasket Adhesive...that is a great tip. I appreciate it.
Thank you for your comments. I encourage you to share with everyone the wrongdoing in the video. TH-cam is a place for education and providing people with various viewpoints of repair. If your thoughts are centered around TheCarCareNut's video on transmission service, I encourage you to read the comments below that have already been posted.
Caution! If the tranny fluid has not been changed for 100K+, STOP. The tranny is held together by what is in suspension in the ATF. Changing the majority of the fluid may wreak the transmission. If you really want to , just change 1 Quart every 6 months. Maybe add high power magnets to trap debris.
Agree. If the fluids have not been changed for over 100k miles I definitely would not use any transmissions flush solvent and would only do a drain and fill. I don’t want to risk damaging the transmission and causing it to start slipping. A dealership in my area will not do a complete flush based on past issues with high mileage transmission flushes where they couldn’t move the vehicle after the flush. I will not take that chance. This position is held by many mechanics and transmission experts. See the The Car Care Nut TH-cam channel who is a master mechanic for Toyota. YMMV.
@@Methodical2 Thank you for your comments. I agree that it is always good to have a variety of sources to build your knowledge base. The Car Care Nut video on Do’s and Don’ts for Transmission fluid is a great source and that video can be found at: th-cam.com/video/jJr30r6RRgw/w-d-xo.html I was hoping he would touch base on the use of flush solvents, but he did not. He did, however, discuss the use of flush machines. To date, it has been almost a year since I did this service and I have had no issues with the transmission. This is the usual procedure I perform for vehicles (both higher and lower mileage). The main difference is that I use a transmission fluid that well exceeds the manufacturer’s specifications.
Sir , the government needs to take away your freedom and lock you up in a school to become a teacher. Your abilities are high class. Thanks for sharing your skills.
There is a possibility that I am already locked up in one of those educational institutions...but when I get out I like to make videos.
Bes video I ever seen The mechanic shop never ever do that flash of the internal transmission fluid great job
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Great video. Clear demonstration and good use of graphics to illustrate what you're talking about. Thanks

@@InsaneOilthe camery is take 4.5 liter of ATF oil ???? Or 4 liter only ?!

I only came here to see how to get the bolts out under the frame cus i have to replace my sl2 an s4 solenoids cus i currently have a 1 spd camry lol
When it shifts funny low speed does that indicate I have bad solenoids ?
same
Did you fix your transmission?@@kevingarcia6549

hello i am curious About the process of a 6 cylinder. i have a V6 Toyota camry 2003 So is the process of a 4 cylinder same as 6 cylinder or no? Thanks in advance
The process should be very similar.
How much fluid in total did you use to refill the pan, and then flush old fluid through until clean fluid was pumping out?
Pan Refill = 5 quarts (6:05), Flush = 10 additional quarts (14:20)
Is that the right fluid?
The product used in the video is an after market product that outperforms the manufacturer specifications.
is this the same for a 2009 model?
It should be similar.
VERY WELL EXPLAINED, THANK YOU.
Thank you for the comment. Good luck with your vehicle service.
Are the three bolts securing the filter the same size and length?
Yes, I believe they are.
My 03 Camry has 290,000 miles and i changed the tranny fluid once at 100k, You were not afraid to changed the fluid at 240?
I was glad to change the fluid out, especially after seeing how dark it was when I first started flushing it… It’s been about six months and still running great.
How long before this time when it was last changed?
@@donkeytime1704 I am unsure. It is possible this fluid has never been changed before.

How can we add more power to this model specifically. Add turbo? Reprogramme ecu? Rebore something?
Unfortunately, I am not the person to ask. I am more of a "replace stock with stock-ish" kind of a TH-cam channel.
Self taught fixing cars or schooling
Both. I taught automotive at the high school level for about 10 years but there is much "self-teaching" to get to the level of being able to teach.
